Chapter 117: The Arrogant Emperor
() I...... Sophia felt funny and angry, so many things had happened, and she had reached the point of making up her mind to sacrifice her life, but she didn't expect that it was just for her to step into the door, and when she thought of this, Sophia had a feeling of being fooled
Sophia looked back at the large room and looked at it closely, it was as ornate as a palace, and Sophia's first impression was that she had returned to the palace hall where her father had met with his ministers, except that it was ten times more luxurious than her father's palace
There is a red carpet on the ground, directly from the entrance of the room to the other end of the room, at the end of which are several steps covered with carpets, and above the staircase is a throne, on the top of which sits a man in a gorgeous Guizhou robe, he has a black beard, looks about 60 years old, wears a crown, and has a gem-studded sword at his waist, although he has reached the age of the curtain, but from his eyes there is a domineering air that makes Sophia can't help but feel an invisible pressure, Sophia's heart, porphy, She was even a little suffocated, and she had to take her eyes off the old man, so she returned to normal
Even the king appeared, and Sophia, who calmed down a little, said to herself that the old man's dress and momentum were indeed very similar to that of a king, Cassius had said that these enemies appeared in the form of six kinds of chess pieces, and it seemed that now except for the queen, the other five kinds of chess pieces had appeared
Ignorance, I am the emperor of an empire, and the king of those lower kingdoms can be compared, and the king sitting on the throne suddenly screamed like thunder rolling in the flat ground, startling Sophia
In the Illuminati state, both the emperor and the king need to be recognized by the Holy See in order to inherit the throne of a state, but there is a difference between the two: the crown prince of a kingdom can be crowned king only in the presence of the bishop of the diocese or the representative of the central stipate, but the emperor of an empire needs to be legitimized by the pope himself, so that the emperor is one level higher than the king under a certain process, although there is no essential difference between the two
Sophia, who was already extremely nervous, was so frightened that she involuntarily took a step back, she looked at the king sitting on the throne, but she didn't dare to face him in disbelief: You ...... Why do chess pieces speak
The presumptuous old man slapped the handle of the throne heavily, and said angrily, You should call me 'Emperor Majesty'
At this time, Sophia observed the old man who claimed to be the emperor and found on his robe a double-headed eagle mark that clawed two swords
This is the totem of the Fayele Empire, and Sophia immediately recognizes the meaning of the mark, could it be that you are the rumored missing Fayele Emperor - Charlotte I
Now that he knew, he didn't hurry up and knelt down and kissed my leather boots, and the old man didn't deny it
Although the old man's words still have a very strong pressure now, Sophia seems to have gotten used to it, and she is no longer as panicked as she was just now, Sophia adjusted her mood and raised her courage to look at Charlotte I: It is rumored that you are missing, but I didn't expect you to actually have something to do in this tower of seven sins
Then Charlotte I did not bother to answer Sophia's question, he took a small object from the right side of the throne and played with it in his hand, as if Sophia did not exist at all
You...... The emperor's arrogant attitude made Sophia speechless for a while, but at this time she noticed that the small object that the emperor was playing with in his hand turned out to be a black chess piece, and on the right side of the throne there was a wooden chessboard about half a meter long, on which all black pieces were placed, and white chess pieces were placed outside the chessboard, and Sophia suddenly realized: chess pieces, chessboard...... Could it be that the disappearance of my friends one by one has something to do with you?
Charlotte I didn't even look at Sophia and continued to play with the pieces in his hand
Even if she usually cultivated well, this attitude of no one in her eyes finally made Sophia angry, and coupled with the worry of her companions who were uncertain about her life and death, she completely ignored her image and roared at Charlotte I: Answer me, my friend is stalking, is it related to you
Audacious, you sloppy mustard actually thought that you could question me like this, I can't forgive the emperor for holding the chess pieces with his left hand, and then his right hand reached out to the chessboard next to him and played with two of the chess pieces on the chessboard
Two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Sophia, and less than five meters away, Sophia recognized that these two people were dressed exactly like the archers on the two strange castles
Before Sophia could react, the two archers from the castle had already fired their arrows at Sophia—at such a close distance, Sophia barely dodged the attack of the first arrow, but the second arrow pierced her left arm, and the blood stained the left sleeve of the pure white priest's robe
Yes...... Sophia bent over in pain, and the successive injuries had weakened her, and in the battle with Shamosa, even the ability of light magic was temporarily lost, which made Sophia feel quite powerless, and she could only rely on the tears of repentance to barely support her body
Why, however, Sophia did not admit defeat, she raised her unyielding head and questioned the emperor sitting high, Your Majesty, do you know that your country is in the midst of a tragic civil war, and the people are in dire straits, and it is rumored that after your disappearance, the two princes have caused trouble in order to fight for power, and as the emperor of the Fayele Empire, you are not thinking about your own country first, but you are willing to die for the Pope here
The Mouthy Emperor shouted, and at the same time he pulled out two more pieces on the chessboard
Seeing his movements, Sophia reflexively raised her tears of repentance and tried to block the other two arrows that might have been shot at her next--but the two archers in the castle did not release arrows at her, but this did not mean safety, because Sophia felt a strange movement behind her, she turned around and saw that the two heavily armed knights who had just fought with Ray had appeared behind her at some point, Sophia was startled and took a few steps back to escape from the range of the steel spear;
At this time, Sophia realized that the eight soldiers in full armor who had fought with Joika were already waiting for her retreat like a wall of iron men, and Sophia immediately stopped and turned to run in the direction where the enemy had not yet appeared, but at this moment, the two bishops who had fought Cassius suddenly appeared in front of her out of thin air
Now Sophia is surrounded by fourteen chess pieces
Escape, why don't you escape, the emperor laughed a few times, no matter where you escape, you can't run out of this chessboard
Hmph, Sophia looked at Charlotte I, gritted her teeth, but was helpless
You say that I am working for the Pope, ignorant Pope, what is he, do you think I stayed here, why did the Emperor look down on Sophia like a caged bird, but it doesn't hurt that I tell you the ins and outs of the matter, one night a few months ago, when I was playing chess with the Prime Minister in the Imperial Palace, suddenly a group of bold militants sneaked into the Imperial Palace and took me away. An emperor was an unforgettable humiliation, and Charlotte I was a little excited, and remade the handle of the throne several times, before I learned that those gangsters were actually people sent by the Central Church, led by a young knight who had not yet dried up, with the purpose of secretly bringing me to St. Papal Island at any cost, and on the island, I saw the Pope, that fellow, it turned out that the Pope had asked for me, and he had resorted to such despicable means to take me captive and place me in this strange tower, and at first I was very angry that the Holy See was so rude, and they not only slandered me for sending troops to attack the Templar Order, but also used it as an excuse to help the thief of Shakobil, and now he still treats the Emperor of the Empire like this...... I swore to tear them to shreds, but when I saw the power of the tower, my mind changed......
The power of this tower, what is that, Sophia asked
More than a month after I arrived at this tower, I suddenly heard a strange movement, and then I saw the tower being teleported to the vicinity of a small town, and twelve hours later, I could clearly see from inside the tower that the town had been destroyed by the powerful forces summoned by the tower
Small Town ...... Could it be that - Sophia suddenly remembered that before entering the tower, Duris had told them about the destruction of the town of Hiplodin, the former territory of St. Olulfe, occupied by the Kingdom of Pole
I didn't care what the name of the town was, the emperor interrupted Sophia's words, it was enough to know that this tower had the power to destroy a town in a second, and at that time I was deeply shocked, what a terrible weapon, if I got this one, I could move at will, And the tower with powerful destructive power, I can have a single thing in the world, what is the emperor of the Yale Empire, what is Xihan, why am I confined to the emperor of one empire, I want to become the emperor of the world, the co-lord of the three continents of Olopa, whether it is the central church or the elves, dwarves, orcs and other foreign races, they all bow down and tremble under my imperial power
Sophia saw from the words of Charlotte I that he was not only a man of extreme arrogance, but also swallowed up by his growing ambitions, and no one would agree, not even the people of Fayerus
Do I need someone to agree to what I want to do, I will teleport this tower to the city where the opponents are, and wipe him out with the city, and then I will not believe that there is any opposition in this world
Can you sacrifice countless innocent lives for your own selfish desires, Sophia said angrily
That's right, it doesn't matter how many people die for the sake of the great hegemony of the emperor of the world, the pope, the Duris, and the Shacopil will all die for me, and no one can stop me, and if I can't rule that place, let it be in ruins
No, Sophia shook her head and said, I must stop you, at least stop you, and destroy the Hansha city outside
With you, Charlotte I, looking at Sophia, surrounded by his own pawns, he really can't think of any leverage she has to say such a thing
Yes, Sophia endured the pain and pulled out the arrow that pierced her left arm, disposed of it on the ground, and then she held the tears of repentance in both hands, and even if she was broken, I would guard my people from harm, and I would not allow anyone to touch the world, and Sophia pulled her legs and rushed towards the two archers in the castle between herself and Charlotte I, and as she was about to rush in front of her, she swung her sword forward with both hands
Unable to help himself, Charlotte I laughed and reached for the chessboard, the proud emperor confident that with a slight movement of the chess pieces symbolizing the castle, the two archers would be able to shoot through the girl before the sword slashed at her
However, the result was unexpected, on the blade of the long sword that had been swung down before he could get close, a sword aura suddenly emitted, directly cutting off the two archers in front of him, and the archers who were cut by the waist turned into two wisps of smoke and floated back to the two black chess pieces on the chessboard next to the throne
What the emperor was surprised, he did not expect such a result
Not only Charlotte I, but even Sophia herself was surprised by this situation, Sophia couldn't help but look at the weapon in her hand, and then she noticed that the magic symbol on the Tear of Repentance was emitting a strange green light, a strange but extremely powerful magical energy was flowing inside the sword, and the sword seemed to respond to the user's war intent and was continuously releasing its power to the outside world
It turned out that the power contained in this sword was so unfathomable, Sophia said to herself, but now there was no time for her to think about it, she only knew that the opportunity was not lost, and the girl quickly turned around, and swung three swords and three domineering sword qi forward, left, and right respectively, and slashed sideways towards the soldiers, knights, and bishops who were blocking these three directions
You actually have such a powerful magic weapon, the emperor gritted his teeth and said, I really underestimated you...... In that case, I have to do it myself.
